FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

Employees, vendors and guests have a right to safety and security while on the premises of a worksite. The safety measures provided at the site or the malfunction of equipment may be at issue in this matter, and may be important in evaluating whether this tragic incident may have been prevented.

List of factual and legal inquires:

  1. What safety rules were in place to prevent this type of accident?
  2. Did any such safety features fail?
  3. Was the tragedy a result of a catastrophic equipment malfunction?
  4. What was the condition of any machinery/equipment involved?
  5. Was the company or property owner aware of the potential safety risks to employees?
  6. If equipment or machinery were involved in the incident, were any attempts made to service, recall or replace any such machinery or equipment prior to the incident?

Under workers’ compensation laws, our legal team suggests that the family of Allen Kowalski will most likely be entitled to significant compensation as a result of this accident. While they should be eligible for benefits under workers compensation laws, they may also hold a substantial third-party negligence claim against the manufacturer or designer of any equipment involved in the incident. Based on its history and experience in representing families in workers compensation and negligence claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the family of Allen Kowalski should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.

Augusta, GA – Gunfire rang out at an apartment complex Thursday night, May 22, 2025, leaving one man dead and another injured.

As reported by WJBF.com, “officers responded to a shooting on Thursday, May 22nd at around 10:28 P.M. at [local] Apartments on the 100 block of Integrity Drive. Officers say when they arrived, they located two individuals with apparent gunshot wounds.”

WRDW.com is reporting, “[t]he Richmond County Coroner’s Office says 28-year-old Kameron Mason was killed in the shooting…The second victim was transported to Wellstar for treatment.”

According to TheAugustaPress.com, “[s]ome witnesses at the scene told investigators that the shooting may have stemmed from an altercation involving a group of individuals who refused to leave the complex’s pool area. Residents noted that unauthorized use of the pool by non-residents has been a recurring issue, often prompting calls to law enforcement.”

The investigation is ongoing.

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

Apartment complex residents and guests have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises they are visiting. The level of security provided at the property is of significance, and is a relevant consideration when analyzing whether this shooting may have been prevented.  The following questions are also important in assessing whether this incident may have been avoided:

  • Have prior incidents of violence been reported on or near the property?
  • Was the property owner or manager aware of any suspicious activity prior to the shooting?
  • Were any security personnel at the property?
  • Were security measures added after any prior incidents?
  • What protocol was in place to deter crime and protect the victims at the time of the shooting? 
  • Have authorities been to the property on prior occasions?

Property owners are generally required to protect against foreseeable harm to anyone and everyone legally on the premises.  Should the investigation into this incident reveal facts that establish that the property owner or management lacked adequate security to protect its resident or visitors, the family of Kameron Mason may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their loss. In addition, any injured victim may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their injuries.

The Murray Law Firm has extensive and successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, and suggests that an immediate, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed so as to limit evidence from being altered, damaged or destroyed.  The complexities of pursuing a negligent security case are well understood by the legal team at The Murray Law Firm, and it is imperative that the family of Kameron Mason and any injured victim retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.
